Ruled out against Tottenham
Chavarria (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday's Premier League clash against Tottenham despite making progress in his recovery and increasing his training workload, according to coach Xabi Alonso. "Pep is training a little bit more but he is not going to make it."
Analysis: Chavarria will miss his second consecutive Premier League fixture after suffering an injury during the final moments of Chelsea's training session ahead of the 2-0 victory over Everton. The left wing-back subsequently underwent medical examinations to assess the issue, although the exact nature and severity of the injury have not been disclosed. Manager Alonso's latest comments suggest that Chavarria is making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation, having recently increased his training workload, but he has not recovered sufficiently to be considered for Saturday's encounter against Tottenham. The defender had impressed during Chelsea's 5-1 victory over Bournemouth before suffering the setback, making his absence another blow to the team's defensive options. Jorrel Hato, who replaced him in the starting lineup against Everton, should remain the leading candidate to occupy the left wing-back position against Tottenham.
Set for medical tests
Chavarria (undisclosed) was scheduled to undergo medical examinations Sunday after suffering an injury during the final action of Chelsea's training session ahead of Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton, according to coach Xabi Alonso, per Roundtable. "Pep, in the last action in training, he felt something. Tomorrow he's having tests to get full information about the injury. But he wasn't feeling well enough to compete today."
Analysis: Chavarria will undergo further assessments to determine the nature and severity of the injury that forced him to miss Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton. The left wing-back sustained the issue during the closing moments of Chelsea's final training session, ruling him out despite an impressive performance in the previous weekend's 5-1 win over Bournemouth. Jorrel Hato replaced him in the starting lineup against Everton and delivered a solid performance, potentially putting himself in contention for additional minutes if Chavarria requires time on the sidelines. Chelsea have a full week to prepare for Saturday's clash against Tottenham, although Chavarria's availability will depend on the results of Sunday's examinations and his subsequent recovery.
